Osprey & Goshawk Deck Reviews

Hello everyone, this is A42Ban for another deck review today. We're looking at these new decks from Alexander Haynes, A Haynes. Uh, A8sPlayingCards.com I believe it is, link will be in the description. Uh, these are the number two Osprey and number three Ghostlock decks, Ghostlock. Um, which are one of Kickstarter products he did recently. They are vintage inspired decks. Uh, number two and number three, I'm guessing number one was the, was the imported deck he did, which I do have a review on my channel of. He actually has a new blue one available for pre-order. The original one was green. Uh, however, I'm not thrilled with the prices for that deck. They want like $45 Canadian to sip it. Yeah, I'm not too interested in that. I am interested in that. Anyways, going back to these decks, it's a very nice vintage inspired. It is similar, but different. Uh, they're printed by Legends Playing Cards. It says number two, Osprey. You see Osprey there, there's a little trademark thing called Playing Cards. And this one, slightly different. Again, Ghostlock, there's Deluxe up here, Playing Cards. Trademark as the Ghostlock, number three. The blue one definitely has a more of a white look, while this one has an off-white look. Uh, it says Osprey Deluxe Playing Cards, white size. Ghostlock Playing Cards on the other side. A-Hanes Best Quality, Manchester. A-Hanes designed in Manchester, England. Vintage inspired is similar, but different. And Osprey Playing Cards, Superior Poker-sized Playing Cards is something I'm not sure, maybe white size. The bottom, this is ad copy, there you go, A-Hanes Playing Cards.com. Printed in China, printed in China by Legends Playing Cards. In the back, it says A-Hanes Playing Cards Company, Osprey and Ghostlock. You can see the VAT design, which is, I know there's a slight difference in the VAT design. I haven't quite made out what it was I thought I did. I think, actually, I do see it. I think it is, oh, right here, right here. So you got different birds here, make it up, whatever that's supposed to be, but it's a different bird. That's the only difference. It says number two, number three, Manchester, England. Vintage style stamp seals. Flap, there's a little Osprey Deluxe. A Roman numeral for the year, number two, and there was a nice vintage inspired plaid pattern. There's decks out there that have this design, so you've seen them. Then this one, Ghostlock Deluxe, and then again, a vintage plaid. Maybe, maybe that's his next design, a vintage plaid deck. Then you got these little ad cards here, basically the same thing. A Haynes Plainclark Company, Osprey Deluxe Vintage Plainclarks in Manchester, England. Behold the birds of the air, they sow not, neither do they weep, nor gather. Yet your heavenly father feedeth them, are ye not better than they? Interesting, and this one, vintage Ghostlock, and the back is the same, except it's red. Each deck has their own set of zippers. This one has, of course, the Osprey, one in black and white, one in color. This one has the Ghostlock, and one in black and white, one with some color. Very nice. They each have their own ace of spades as well. This one, of course, has the Osprey on it. It says Osprey, very cool vintage style. And then this one has the Ghostlock on it. The numbered cards are the same on both decks. Everything else is basically the same on both decks. It's got these nice big chunky pips, vintage style pips with smaller indexes than vintage style. Court cards are vintage inspired as well. They are drawn in a deep cobalt blue with gold and vintage red colors. And they're the same on both decks. All the other aces as well, customized. They say they hang playing cards, Osprey. This one, you can see there is a bit of a weathered look to them as well. Fair cards. Just a little bit like a discoloration, if anything. Very nice court cards, nicely designed. There's that, and then the back design on the blue one. Very nice. As I mentioned, the tuck aces as well are printed on a, it says it's a heavy matte stock with a custom stamp seal on the interior, a vintage plaid print. The cards are printed by Legends Playing Cards, as are the tucks. And the cards are on a classic finish with a pre-crust stock. This one, again, is exactly the same. You can see, if you look closely, you can see the weatheredness, the discoloration, it's kind of cool. From what you can see, court cards are the same, again, all hand drawn. And this has, it's the same type of ace, except it has a pink in it, and it's obviously says Goldstock instead of this one, which says Osprey, but it's the same thing outside of that. I'll just show you these cards again quickly. Very nice, vintage inspired. I, from top to bottom, vintage inspired, from the chips to the court cards. Maybe not the aces, the ace spades there, but the other aces, maybe. I don't have many vintage decks where the other aces are customized. So that's the one thing I would say is not too vintage inspired. Handle pretty good. And again, I really liked the back design. Nice, simple, classic looking, vintage inspired. That is that. I'm a sucker for a good vintage looking deck, and I like everything I see, for the most part. And the back design and everything, it's a good stock and finish. I will give these an A. So that is that. Comment, like, subscribe, let me know what you think. This is a little bit long of a video, I apologize. We'll see you next time.
